not to happy
- Pros: Works with my AMD X2 4800+, 4 out of my 6 sata drives, and my 8gb of ddr2
- Cons: bought this board thru a local retailer that bought thru newegg. i originally bought this board for a high end gaming system. i also bought a phenom II 940 to go on it. this board has fried three of them. first two it tried to post even tho the board didn't recognize the cpu. this is the first board i have used that has not given a cpu id error when it did not recognize the cpu. retailer replaced the board with one with an updated bios (2.3) the board recognized the cpu but fried that one also. i tried returning the board to go evga and intel but now i am stuck with it. also not all the sata ports will work. the two dark purple "e-stata" ports on the mobo don't recognize drives.
- Other Thoughts: Also i would like to add that i am a computer repair tech so i'd know if i set it up incorrectly
Dual channel
- Pros: Still works, no problems, Finally figured out how dual channel goes on this board.
- Cons: none
- Other Thoughts: I've read about this board and people are saying if you have two memory sticks put them in different color slots to ensure dual channel mode. You actualy want them in the same color slots. I guess the confusion comes from other brand mobo's that use different color slots. The paper work doesn't really explain that good.
Satisfied Owner
- Pros: I bought This MOBO in Jan 2009 with a Be 2400 processor to check it out and run until I completed my build, But Didn't get it Online until a month later when I ordered a Corsair 850 watt PS and 4 gb of Corsair Memory. I am on Social Security and This has Taken until May until I am ready to Order my Phenom II 940. This Board has never even hiccupped. Solid as a rock fast and Dependable. It is ESA Ready and I have it configured as such.
My Understanding is that I'm in for a pleasant surprise when I install The Phenom II 940 processor, from all the reviews. I have Flashed The Bios Twice When Upgrades were announced by MSI with no problems.
- Cons: None, My First Build since 1998 and it has worked out perfect except taking some hits on price cuts. I paid $239 for this and now its $194.99. My Case Dropped $40 since I bought it. I'm tempted to build another identical computer to take advantage of the price cuts.
- Other Thoughts: I'm hearing This MOBO can Be Upgraded to an AM3 Processor and DDR3 memory. I would like to see some official word on this.
